    The last time I checked I can't charge up my internet battery and have internet while driving or hiking.

    ...you can't use it when you don't have an internet connection. Why doesn't anyone think about this?

    I have no idea, but two successive mods rated it Informative, so it must be right!

  7. ELECTRODE used EXPLOSION! on New Electrode Lets Batteries Charge In 10 Seconds · · Score: 3, Informative

    Critical hit! It's super effective! END USER fainted!

  8. Re:Speaking as a valve fanboy and steam early adop on The Age of Steam · · Score: 1

    Your friend is not stripping the DRM; his flash drive is big enough to hold a copied Steam folder. I've got TF2 and CS:S on a portable hard drive and it works fine at school.

  9. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 2, Insightful

    they're different

    It was real. Sometimes programs would lose their minds and write all over the video memory.

    Someday soon we'll be able to power our computers with armies of hamsters!

  12. Re:To hell with them! on Author's Guild Says Kindle's Text-To-Speech Software Illegal · · Score: 1

    Do you hear the sound of the words echo through your head as you read words, like me?

    No, actually. When I read it's like watching TV in my head. Maybe that's why I read so much. :P

  13. The first use for on Hackable Microcontroller-Powered Valentine's Card · · Score: 1

    the "hearthack" tag

    Opera, I think.

  15. Re:Wow, college-level engineers can build a radio? on Students Call Space Station With Home-Built Radio · · Score: 1

    It's a VHF radio, not a shortwave radio. Anyway, lots of amateur operators do this all the time. I'm surprised that this was accepted as their senior project, let alone a news story. Hey, maybe I could build radios for credit when I get out of high school.

  16. Re:no kidding on Students Call Space Station With Home-Built Radio · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's amateur radio. Anybody with a license, a radio, and a good enough antenna has permission to contact the ISS.

  17. Re:I'll take Pandora, thanks. on OLPC 2.0 — One Laptop Foundation Reboots · · Score: 1

    Nowhere on the Pandora page does it advertise "Emulators!" The only things are the videos in the blog showcasing the developers. If they prosecute the Pandora team, they'll have to prosecute Intel, AMD, Dell, Microsoft, Apple, and everyone else who makes a computer or device capable of running emulators

    As soon as a version of this is released to the public, I'm going to download music. All of it.

  22. Re:Overrated: same as all other music on Techniques and Styles of Video Game Music · · Score: 1

    Pick up Biosphere's "Substrata" and Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works Vol. II" as well. Those'll get you into ambient quick. :)

  23. I didn't know on E=mc^2 Verified In Quantum Chromodynamic Calculation · · Score: 1

    ...that a supercomputer calculation could be heroic. What did it do, rescue the researchers from a raging bear and then calculate this for kicks?

    Remember, TV channels are much larger (6mhz) than is needed for audio-only signals.
